Hi,
I have written a code snippet to retrieve internationalisation params from
a resource bundle properties file. I have created this resource bundle
file and store it in my project root directory c:\xxx. I can run my
program with no problem from a standalone run.bat @ the shell prompt. My
program is able to locate the resource properties file.
But when I tried running my program via the Eclipse IDE, from the RUN
menu, I encounter problems. The error is printed as follows.
<i>
#Exception: java.util.MissingResourceException: Can't find bundle for base
name MessagesBundle, locale en_US
java.lang.NullPointerException
at com.mutant.messenger.util.Resource.getI18NString(Resource.ja va:45)
at com.mutant.messenger.MessengerApp.open(MessengerApp.java:97)
at com.mutant.messenger.MessengerApp.main(MessengerApp.java:57)
Exception in thread "main"
</i>
Eclipse cannot locate this resource bundle file, if I run my program from
the IDE, via the RUN menu. I have also tried changing the classpath
setting in RUN to point to c:\xxx but to no avail.
Running from my shell is not a problem. Can someone point me what is
wrong?
Many Thanks
Mobiko

Hi Richard,
I follow your instructions, created a sub-dir called "config" under my
project root, store the properties files there, then set up the class
folder to point to this new "config" dir via the Project Properties' "Add
Class Folder", but it returns the same error I encountered earlier.
What did I miss?

Try the following, from the bin directory popup the menu and select
"Restore from Local History". It may still be in there. Restore it and
immediately move it out of the bin directory. You may want to turn
"Build on Resource Modification" off first so that it doesn't accidently
wipe it away before you can move it out. Then turn that back on again.
Also, I meant when creating the source folder that the folder is in your
project BUT NOT under the bin directory. You create the folder structure
somewhere else in your project. Everything under the bin directory on
down to subdirectories can be wiped at any time.
